A Nephew’s Birthday!

I am so happy! Popped by this morning to find 10 comments waiting! I am so excited … and will make sure I respond to each when I have finished this post! 😀 So … I have shown you 2 of the cards I made last Saturday … and have another for you today. Did I mention that I had a “run” of male cards to do???

So … I have to thank dbarry (gallery in SCS – 7 Aug 2010) for her lovely card that was the inspiration for this one! I was a little stumped with so many male cards to make … and reached for my trusty Extreme Surfer stamp! I trolled through the ES gallery at SCS for some ideas. The main image is black embossed and the wave is clear embossed. Lots of easy sponging and voila! This was for my newphew’s 17th birthday (that happens to be today!) … good choice, I think!? 😉 Lots of end of month bookwork to do … so I better skedaddle! C U soon! Hugs xx

Yet another stella reason for me to get off my slack patootie and ink this stamp up!!! Andrea this rocks. I love the sponging and can only imagine how well it sat with the recipient. Almost any surfer’s perfect wave oddessy. ooxx love ur use of skiddadle too….hee hee hee. – Glad to give you a giggle! Returning the favour you have given me many times! Go get that stamp out!!! Hugs xx

Love the clear embossed wave and the blue sponging – so real! – Thanks Kim! I am so happy you continue to visit & encourage me … esp when I am so behind with my blog hopping! You are a very much appreciated blog friend! Hugs xx

Another fabulous “man” card Andrea!!! You rock on creating male designs – you make them look so easy! Love the halo effect of the sponging, looks like your surfer dude is right in the middle of a huge tube & the twine is a perfect bit of “man style” ribbon, lol. Hugs 🙂 – Thanks Helen! Sometimes a ‘male’ card does end up looking good! I liked this one, too! Hugs xx
